Just had to throw these two songs out there, always been two favorites of mine... Of course we all love Dark Side, Wish you Were Here, and the Wall, but early PF had a lot of cool stuff....

    I missed Roger Waters in my state this week. I saw him last year, though, and the show was amazing. Unfortunately, that's the closest we'll ever get to seeing Pink Floyd again.

    Track down the rip from the 8 track and it has a Snowy White guitar solo in it. Good stuff. I wanna say something from Wish You Were Here has an extra solo too.

    I love Animals and it's definitely a contender for top album, but I could never put it at the top. As played out as DSOTM is, I don't think there is a better album ever made. I've definitely been listening to other more for a long time now but I just find a serious negative critique for that album even if I really tried. I'd put WYWH, Meddle, Animals, and The Wall in the conversation.

    Everybody heard about the Wish You Were Here documentary that's coming out? Caught the edited version on TV awhile back and it looks pretty cool.

    Loving the new Pink Floyd channel on SiriusXM. Had a great "town hall" talk with Roger Waters today on there. Lot's of great questions that Roger answered very honestly. Also loving some of the live shows they have been playing.

    "Wish You Were Here" is an amazing album... IMO the rest of their albums other than DS and TW you just have to take the journey thru them.. I like them all, but I grew up listening to all their stuff as a teenager so it's already planted in my head and soul....

    Wish you Were Here and Animals are my two favorite albums, followed by Dark Side and the Wall. Obscured By Clouds is a great album too, but it's not "beginner" Floyd. Check out Chilhood's End from Obscured--it's their most underrated gem.

    I recommend starting with a song or two off each album to see what catches your ear. But really you can't go wrong with the above suggestion: get Wish You Were Here next.

    The Wall might be the finest album ever produced. In my opinion, it's clearly Floyd's greatest piece of work- the writing, music, vocal work by Gilmour and Waters, and the feelings it conjures from track one to finish sets it apart. I can't recall ever placing one of the tracks on a playlist (mixed tape or burnt cd for that matter). It was always all or nothing with the Wall. No other music fit with it. A genre of its own.

    DSOTM would be number two- another epic almost worthy of the same accolades I lauded upon The Wall.

    Wish You Were Here and Animals, excellent albums in their own way, are a notch below both.

    The Final Cut is underrated- Two Suns in the Sunset is a wicked tune and the lyrics, again, cleverly revealed Waters' hatred for warfaring mankind.

    * To me, their earlier stuff is just different than the 'second era' Floyd. Strong as well, but different- they are tough to compare. Songs like Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and One of these Days are great earlier songs, but overall... the earlier albums were largely psychedelic themed without the depth that the latter albums had.

    That's part of the reason I think it's a notch below DSOTM and maybe the other albums. They're all great as a whole, but you start piecing the albums out and there are still great songs there. I love everything on The Wall in it's context, but some of that stuff can be a little pointless on it's own.

    Animals = greatest thing Pink Floyd ever did together IMO

    I love Piper but I almost consider that a different band because of Syd.

    Thanks for the info about the Wish You Were Here doc...I'll definitely be picking that up! :thumbup:

    It's funny how we percieve music thru time i saw the complete Floyd Lineup twice the 2nd time was when they performed the complete wall concert here on Long Island and now i can't for the life of me stand to listen to any of the wall at all it just makes me wanna jump from a building , Now Medle is totally different i could listen to that album any day of the week and twice on sunday ...
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....

    A lot of hate for the Wall. I think this 'hate' comes from the act that the album no longer resonates with the listener. It's the album to begin your Pink Floyd journey with in my opinion.

    Often, on these boards, I think sometimes we tend to dismiss some music because we have tired of it. And, in doing so, we don't pay the proper amount of respect that we probably should. There's a reason why The Wall and DSOTM are considered the classic Pink Floyd albums. Just because I listen to Saucerful more these days doesn't make it a better album. It's the classic case of 'what have you done for me lately?'

    In the same vein, a new to Pearl Jam fan is going to get hooked listening to Jeremy and Even Flow before Pilate and Red Mosquito. They will 'grow into' these songs after acquiring a taste- maybe sooner than later... but given this... I think we should always acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged- a band's best songs and bodies of work often become the least popular among the fan base.

    I think it's a horrible choice to begin with. You gotta start with Dark Side....it's much more accessible.

    Agree,

    Meddle is also a great album and pretty accessible.

    My Floyd listening preference

    Meddle > Animals > Wish You Were Here > Dark Side of the Moon > Pulse > Piper at the Gates of Dawn > Atom Heart Mother > Saucerful of Secrets > Momentary Lapse of Reason > Delicate Sound of Thunder > The Wall > Ummagumma > Obscured by Clouds > Division Bell > Final Cut

    Just released to YouTube last week, along with the original Pompeii (only available to stream for a few more hours, so check that out first as a part of a #stayathome fundraising event). The Pulse performance is exceptional. I tend to prefer the performances without the extra musicians and visuals, etc., but this is peak Floyd. Richard, Nick and David are still the crux of what you hear and the backup singers are fantastic on the Dark Side songs. Amazingly, they are a little younger here than PJ is now... wow! They sure don't look it!

    Anybody else think that the EKG "pulse" at the beginning looks familiar?

    I also happen to think that some of the visuals in the Gigaton visualizers also give a nod to Pompeii.
